Soooo… My brother got the meaningful present from me this year.
Apparently he is considering giving up playing the trumpet as he thinks its too “geeky”.

So as a big brother should… I intervened.

I constructed a box with 10 illustrated reasons why he should continue playing, along with a mix CD of 10 songs with brass instruments in them, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones album “Let’s Face It”.

If he quits after I put in about 20 hours of work, I seriously will batter the life out of him.

He’s a lucky brother!
